Each of us wants to live in a comfortable apartment. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out repairs to your own home from time to time. It should be noted that the repair process is an extremely important moment that requires a proper approach. By the way, due to the fact that apartment renovation technology requires a special approach, many people refuse to carry out repairs on our own. This is justified by increased labor intensity. However, in this case, you need to understand that if you undertake the repair on your own, you must bring the matter to its logical conclusion.

If you decide to make changes, then in this case you need to clearly plan each step of the repair. All people who decided to take this step deserve our deepest respect.

Next in our article we will move on to the actual repair. Let us immediately note what is highlighted cosmetic and major repairs. Of course, a major overhaul is much better, but for such pleasure you will have to pay a lot of money. It is important to assess the feasibility of major repairs. For example, if the supporting structures are in good condition, then in this case it is advisable to resort to cosmetic repairs. This type of renovation is not so expensive and is carried out if you simply decide to update the interior of your room. To organize repairs, you can contact professionals who will do all the work in the best possible way. The second option is to carry out the repairs yourself. Remember that new technologies in apartment renovation are the key to good result.

Do-it-yourself apartment renovation technology

Let's move on to consider do-it-yourself apartment renovation technologies. At the initial stage it is necessary to make budgeting. That is, a finishing material is first selected and calculations are made, which are agreed upon with the customer. Every repair begins with drawing up an estimate. This documentation must contain a list of required materials. In addition, all prices are taken into account to calculate the final cost. Most often, specialists help the customer with the selection of necessary materials. At the same time, prices for certain materials are monitored. Many specialists provide services for delivering materials to the site, but in this case you will incur additional costs. Also, the technology for renovating an apartment with your own hands involves detailed planning of all activities that will be carried out during the renovation. At the initial stage of repair, it will be developed style of the future interior.

Another equally important step is rough work. As you understand, at this stage they begin the actual repairs, namely, they dismantle the old coatings as in the photo. After removing the debris, they begin leveling the surface.

Last step - fine finishing. After all work is completed, it is necessary to begin finishing the room. Finishing starts from the ceiling and ends with cleaning the floor covering.

The entire repair process would not be possible without nanotechnology! We are, of course, joking; nanotechnology in this matter is still far away. Naturally, without modern technologies, because they play an important role in apartment renovation.

TO modern technologies include, for example, liquid glass, quick-drying Rotband solutions, plasterboard, suspended ceilings, plastic panels, 3D liquid floors, plastic skirting boards, as well as other building materials that significantly simplify, speed up, and also make apartment renovation a work of art.

Sooner or later this current issue, like apartment renovation, faces every person. Until recently, apartment renovations were carried out primarily on our own and, of course, not in the best way. When renovating apartments, people often didn’t even know where to start and didn’t know what result they wanted to see in the end.

Today the situation has changed dramatically. Thanks to the intensive development of construction technologies and the emergence of an affordable range of building materials, apartment renovations began to be carried out by specialized companies.

A major renovation of apartments means changing the layout, replacing communications, and performing the most modern finishing. The apartments require major renovations using only first-class materials. Only in this case is it possible to achieve the necessary results and carry out high-quality apartment renovations.

How much does a modern apartment renovation cost?

There are a great many questions that people have to face when carrying out repair and finishing work. And not every team is able to answer everything. Often, finishers perform specific types of finishing work. For example, you can find carpenters who do drywall, lay laminate flooring, baseboards, and install doors. Often there are painters and plasterers involved in plastering, puttying, painting, and wallpapering. As a rule, electricians and plumbers are engaged exclusively in their types of work. However, there are also teams consisting of 2-4 people who carry out complex finishing of premises and apartments.

Of course, when you start renovating an apartment, you want all the work from start to finish to be carried out by one team or one company, so that during the renovation process situations do not arise when finishers blame each other for poor quality repairs, citing anyone else’s mistakes as the reason. but not with your personal ones. In this situation, it becomes very important to have a person who would be responsible for the entire range of finishing works and for the quality of work of each of the finishers.
As for us, we have such a person who is responsible for everything at the site and he personally manages all the objects that we take on.

Concluding an agreement for apartment renovation.

After you are convinced that our quality suits you, we meet again at your apartment, conclude an agreement, to which is attached the above preliminary estimate, and draw up a list of non-individual materials needed for repairs (plaster, putty, primer, glue, drywall etc.) After this, you receive a list of these materials in electronic form to your email mailbox with already stated prices, delivery costs and lifting to the floor.

Electrical work and plumbing work – initial stage turnkey apartment renovation

In order for the electrician to begin his work, you need to decide on the design of the kitchen. This is very important, since the sockets for the hob and oven, under the hood, must be located in a precisely defined place, which has an error of +/- 5 cm. But deciding on the design of the kitchen does not mean ordering a kitchen. Its production time is about a month, while the repair period in two- or three-room apartments ranges from 2 to 3 months. And since we have never met furniture makers who willingly agreed to store your kitchen in their warehouse for an extra month or two, rest assured that it will appear in your apartment at the most inopportune moment. Decide on the alarm system in advance (conclude an agreement with Security, etc.). Consider the installation of TV and telephone cables, check with the developer how the Internet and television connections will be made (different new buildings have different approaches to this issue.

For a plumber, the parameters (exact dimensions) of sanitaryware, which will subsequently be installed in the apartment, are important. A heated towel rail (coil or ladder) must be available before the rough wiring begins: just know center distance not enough.

Alignment of walls in apartments

In conclusion of the main article, I would like to dwell separately on alignment. The fact is that leveling the walls is quite expensive. It is provided exclusively with plaster on the beacons (and not with putty, as some believe). In the estimates we calculate, you (with rare exceptions) will not see anywhere the cost of leveling all the walls in the apartment according to the beacons, since this procedure (especially if you take into account the cost of the plaster necessary for this) will lead to an increase in the cost of all repairs in the apartment by one and a half to two times, which , in our opinion, is more than an unreasonable waste of money, because the visual effect of such alignment (by beacons) is practically absent and can often only be determined by a tool.

As you can see, we do everything finishing work, which are necessary for a comprehensive renovation of the apartment. The finishers involved in the repair process have undergone a strict selection process, been tested multiple times at various sites, and have sufficient work experience and appropriate qualifications. And most importantly, each of them is simply a pleasure to deal with. All this will allow you to make turnkey repairs in your apartment or office with a minimum of costs and a smile on your face. In addition, you can simply call us and we will give you a free consultation on any of the issues related to a comprehensive apartment renovation.

Over time, local specialists professionally mastered all the intricacies of installation technology, and polymer manufacturers purchased all the necessary licenses for independent production of stretch ceilings. Many repairs were carried out, statistics on the behavior of Russian ceilings were obtained, and now some results can be summed up. All Russian suspended ceilings conventionally belong to the economy segment. They are inexpensive, they provide good quality coverage, they are very durable, but, of course, they cannot compete with European-made products. The secret is very simple - enterprises either acquire outdated production technology vinyl cloth, or they are trying to “replicate a simple recipe” of Western polymers on their own, without having a scientific school of sufficient level and money to purchase patents and special additives.

Russian ceilings can be an excellent solution where exceptional quality and luxury shine are not required. Products from Western premium manufacturers are responsible for the glamor and Luxury segment. They have the appropriate price, appropriate appearance and appropriate service life.

The use of modern materials for wall decoration

When the first drywall appeared, it became a real revelation. It must be admitted that there are no intellectual breakthroughs here either - a sheet of gypsum is held by two thin cardboard sheets and allows you to level the surfaces of walls of huge footage in an unusually short time. Drywall is actually dry plaster. What prevented the release of this material during Soviet times? Complete lack of technology. Understand the importance of chemical technologies in production building materials can be done using the following fact. Despite the apparent simplicity of the product, all drywall produced in Russia is licensed production.

That is, Russian chemists and technologists were never able to independently select the composition of the gypsum mixture and master the production technology without the use of expensive patents. This statement can be interpolated to almost any finishing material - from water-dispersion paint and putties to creating volumetric textured paints and plasters. For example, a special plaster, pieces of which are soaked in water and then applied to the wall with a spatula, is used in Italy and other European countries decades, but appeared on the walls of Russian apartments only recently.

The largest technological breakthrough in the field was non-woven wallpaper. Non-woven fabric was constantly used by Western finishers to quickly level walls. At first these were colorless rolls, then someone came up with the logical idea to put a design on the non-woven wallpaper - thus, the most popular non-woven wallpaper was created. Where are they used? Where there is a wall of poor quality, and you do not have the time or desire to make it perfectly smooth. Of course, they do not solve the problem in a global sense, as drywall or plastering along exposed beacons solves it, but the optical leveling effect is certainly present.

Modern wallpapers have a wide variety of textures and can give an interesting visual effect that is unattainable in classic wallpaper from paper. Such wallpaper can be painted many times; fiberglass, natural cellulose and non-woven lining are used as the base of the rolls.

The evolution of finishing materials for floors

The entire floor in our apartments was of only two types - or wooden floor on joists, or a cheap one, glued to poor concrete. Parquet was rare and extremely expensive. Modern technology has provided a lot of first-class finishing options - from elite polymer coatings for commercial use to self-leveling floors with the ability to install heating elements. In general, any finishing coat type of rolled materials is only a natural result of the development of chemical technology. Previously there was poor quality linoleum, which quickly faded and wore out, now it is linoleum high quality and exceptional wear resistance. The essence of the coverage has not changed.

Self-leveling self-leveling floors have become a fundamentally new approach in the field of repair and construction. Using the effect of gravity to level the compositions is a more than obvious solution. The problem, as we know, is technology. There is a desire to make a self-leveling floor, but there is no opportunity and knowledge - as a result, we have a logical result. The best self-leveling floors are those made in Europe; Russian mixtures say “self-leveling floor”, but this bold statement has nothing to do with reality.

In other words, if you are a specialist in working with a wide spatula, you can safely save a couple of hundred rubles on a bag of Russian-made dry mix. However, we do not guarantee you the result.

Conclusions. Modern technologies finishes such as suspended ceilings, non-woven wallpaper, self-leveling flooring, various laminate coatings and commercial linoleum are much more preferable solutions if you are not looking for cheapness, but want to solve the repair issue and not return to it for many years. Such materials save time, which you can successfully use for your favorite activities. The result of such technologies is always first-class repairs. There are no exceptions.

APARTMENT RENOVATION IS WORTH “SURVIVING” WITH PROFESSIONALS

Anyone who has done repairs at least once in their life can say with full confidence that it is better to survive such a “global flood” with professionals. Moreover, the ease of working with them, manifested in the prompt determination of the required volumes and assessment of upcoming services, as well as the possibility of bargaining over costs and rates, allows you to save money, not to mention saving time, effort and nerves. Another indisputable advantage of working with professionals is the constant monitoring and application of innovative technologies in repairs.

INNOVATIONS IN REPAIR - CONFIDENCE IN TOMORROW

alkali and acid resistance

waterproof

fire safety

vapor permeability

environmental friendliness.

It is a pleasure to renovate apartments with such material! In addition, glass wallpaper reinforces the wall, preventing the appearance and growth of cracks, and they are also resistant to concentrated disinfectants. The material is based on fiberglass obtained from glass melted at a temperature of one thousand two hundred degrees. Raw materials used for the production of glass wallpaper: quartz sand, dolomite, soda, lime - safe, hypoallergenic materials that prevent the proliferation of microorganisms and do not release toxic substances into the environment.

The uniqueness of the coating is that it can be used on any surface: metal, concrete, brick, plasterboard, wood, chipboard. Sheets of glass wallpaper perfectly hide small irregularities, cracks, interpanel seams and other flaws, forming a perfectly smooth and even surface. After gluing, the fiberglass wallpaper is allowed to dry thoroughly for one day. Then the repair is continued by painting the surface with latex, acrylic or water-based paints using a roller.

Obviously, apartment renovation is associated with significant financial and time costs. But glass wallpaper is exactly that good-quality and durable option that will allow you to not have to think about repairs for several years! They can be repainted up to 12 times without losing the relief of the design. Fiberglass wallpaper is used in residential buildings, medical institutions, hotels and offices, since the coating allows you to give the room an aesthetically modern look and maintain its optimal microclimate.

DECORATIVE PLASTER IS AN EXCELLENT SOLUTION FOR YOUR INTERIOR WHEN REPAIRING AN APARTMENT

Plaster can be applied to almost any surface. The coverage possibilities are extremely wide. Plaster can imitate marble with its shiny, smooth surface, it can reproduce delicate silk, look soft like velvet, create the effect of aged walls, leather, embossed paper, old stone, aged glass.

These qualities, combined with a well-chosen color palette, make decorative plasters an almost ideal coating for interior decoration. Apartment renovation requires significant labor costs, so the speed of applying plaster is an undeniable advantage of this type of finishing.

However, to carry out quality work, it is better to entrust repairs professional team of workers.

Other advantages are excellent performance properties, great opportunities for creativity, and, importantly, the relative cheapness of the material. Apartment renovation requires the most thoughtful and thorough approach, so it makes sense to inquire in advance about the properties of various coatings. For example, decorative plaster is good because it does not “collect” dust, does not absorb odor or cigarette smoke, and is vapor permeable. All this makes decorative plaster a very practical and durable coating. The strength of the material (abrasion) is many times higher than that of various types of wallpaper and water-based paint.

STRETCH CEILINGS - DURABLE AND SAFE

Usage suspended ceilings in itself is an innovation, since they are regularly improved and acquire a lot of positive qualities, ranging from strength and durability of use, and ending with environmental friendliness and fire safety.

Innovative technologies used in production of suspended ceilings, include the relationship between environmental thought and cutting-edge developments. Stretch ceilings are distinguished by such an important characteristic as environmental friendliness. It has now been proven that stretch ceilings do not harm the human body even if it remains in the room for quite a long time. This is ensured by the “breathability” of the suspended ceiling fabric due to its special structure. In addition, harmful microbes cannot accumulate on them. It is also worth noting that PVC film does not release harmful substances into the environment.

That is why it is currently allowed installation of suspended ceilings both in medical and children's institutions. A special ceiling coating with an antistatic effect protects against dust accumulation. Its low thermal conductivity and high moisture resistance prevent the formation of water condensation and the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria. It is worth emphasizing that the materials used in stretch ceilings have a long service life and do not rot over time. At the same time, suspended ceilings are completely free of substances prohibited by SanPiN.

These results have been repeatedly confirmed by laboratory tests carried out on the fabric used for suspended ceilings. The production technology of French linen materials L’ete is based on the principles of environmental protection and environmental friendliness. It is important that they do not require subsequent labor-intensive care. In addition, the polyvinyl chloride film used for production of suspended ceilings, is used quite widely, including in direct contact with food.

Currently, stretch ceilings with photo printing applied to them are an innovative new product. This innovation has been adopted by many designers, as it allows them to fully realize the grandiose ideas of a unique and extraordinary home interior.

By using this new product, the owner of an apartment or house will be able to emphasize his bright personality and impress his guests. The main feature of this innovation is the ability to choose absolutely any pattern. However, it is worth choosing a pattern that can create a favorable atmosphere and energize positive energy, both household members and house guests. A correctly chosen pattern for photo printing on stretch ceilings will have a beneficial effect.

Innovative technologies in this area are attracting more and more new consumers, increasing the demand for stretch ceilings in general. They allow you to transform ceiling spaces into a gallery, making it a work of art. Manufacturing “to order” allows you to fully implement everything in suspended ceilings. innovative solutions, ranging from those aimed at the quality of the canvas, and ending with those that will visually transform your home. This also includes seamless, multi-level ceilings, various arches, tents, as well as technology "starry sky", so loved by many. With all the variety of offers, the choice is only yours.

Every tenant sooner or later faces the problem of carrying out repairs in their home. Rather, this happens sooner rather than later, since an apartment is not a museum room, it is impossible to initially create all or at least most of the conditions necessary to preserve the interior environment. This article will describe modern ideas for apartment renovation.

Beautiful apartment renovation idea

An apartment is a room where living people live and perform many activities. That is why modern ideas for apartment renovation will make our lives much easier. The main reason for renovation is the inevitable appearance of different places There are many small and large defects that, at a minimum, spoil the overall appearance of the room’s design, and at maximum, simply interfere with life. Another important reason is the everyday environment, ordinary, not changing for years, it’s just that after a while this environment begins to become boring, that is, simply boring.

Then people, as a rule, have a beautiful idea for renovating their apartment. But still, most often repairs are carried out for practical purposes, since they are financially expensive, and not everyone has the opportunity to spend money on trifles.

Small apartment renovation ideas

Curtains should be chosen short, preferably not lower than the window sill and with a small pattern. Apartment renovation in a modern style photo kitchen ideas:

Regarding household appliances, then it is best to give preference to modern multifunctional models. In order to save useful space, instead of a conventional oven, you should buy a hob complete with a separate oven, since these devices can be quite easily installed on almost any surface of your kitchen corner.

It is not recommended to place the sink and washing machine too close to the stove, as the sink will constantly get dirty, and the machine may simply turn yellow from the heat of the stove and even melt. In a small kitchen, a sliding door instead of a regular one will also help you save space. And all the doors kitchen furniture, it is also better to choose non-standard ones, and ones that open upwards.

This room simply must be the most comfortable and should encourage its owners to relax, calm and, most obviously, an intimate atmosphere. Everything in this room should be carefully thought out so that the interior and furnishings evoke only positive emotions, and nothing else.

Beautiful renovation in a modern apartment

You should start by planning your design. The choice of bedroom style needs to be thought through without any haste, and first of all you need to think about the wallpaper for the walls - this is a sensitive and, I must say, very intimate matter. Some people prefer rather soft pastel colors, others prefer twilight, and therefore tend to cover the walls with dark-colored paper. Some people love cheerful and bright colors. In order for an optimistic and joyful mood to reign in the bedroom, it is best to make the walls yellow. However, if you want the bedroom to have a calming effect, then you should paste the walls with green wallpaper. At the same time, remember that when choosing the color of wallpaper for the bedroom, you should avoid too bright and very harsh tones.

If the bedroom is small, then the best option would be to limit the number of pieces of furniture in it. If the room is too spacious, then the lack of furniture will definitely cause discomfort, because the room will feel too empty and uncomfortable. When renovating, special attention should be paid to the ceiling; all options should be carefully considered. It must be made not only simply beautiful, but also original.

The best option is a suspended ceiling. As an alternative - a multi-level ceiling with some fancy shapes. In the bedroom, the light should be bright, but not harsh. You can hang a sconce near the bed. Bedspreads, pillows and other textiles must be carefully selected to match the overall color of your bedroom. If your bedroom is monochromatic, then it is better to diversify it with colored fabrics and a colored carpet. Curtains should be soft and preferably draping fabric. Such curtains will create a feeling of security and comfort in the room.

Now let's move on to the living room. beautiful renovation in a modern apartment, must be original. You must understand that the living room is the place where the owners in most cases not only welcome guests, but also relax, and often with their family. Usually these rooms are quite spacious, so the design of a large living room can be decorated in almost any style, the main thing is that you like it.

A large aquarium built into the wall would look very nice here. It will also be very convenient to place a home theater combined with a music center. If space allows, then you can build a fireplace in the living room; it will not only be convenient, but also very comfortable, because on winter evenings your whole family can gather in front of it.

The use of familiar materials proven by many years of experience guarantees the homeowner reliability and durability. However, a person always reaches out to something new. He wants to create something cozy and modern in his home. In order to keep up with the times, let's get acquainted with new finishing materials appearing on the market and beginning to gain popularity.

flexible stone

Flexible stone – unique material. It is distinguished by elasticity, strength and ease of installation. The material is characterized by a thickness ranging from 1.5 to 3 mm. The composition includes natural colored marble chips, as well as environmentally friendly polymer material. This composition allows the material to imitate stone, sandstone, clinker brick, slate, etc., while remaining flexible and easy to use. It can be seen in the design of modern showers and bathrooms, bathrooms, saunas, kitchens and hallways. Flexible stone is also used for cladding facades, walls, fences, etc. The material perfectly conveys the natural texture, has wide range shades, which allows you to create unique design interiors and facades.

Blooming wallpaper- a material with a beautiful name, which has the ability to change its color and show additional details of the design depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature of objects adjacent to it. This visual effect is achieved due to the special thermal paint included in the material. , made with such thermal paint, will appear with temperature changes and change color. This know-how will allow residents not to get bored and enjoy the new design of the room over time. The disadvantage of this finish is the need for pasting in places where temperature changes are possible - on the side exposed to bright sunlight, either near radiators, or in temperature-controlled rooms, etc.

"blooming" wallpaper
light transmitting wood composite

Wood composite– another material worthy of attention. Most often it is made from it. Distinctive feature its ability to transmit light. Thin wood panels are joined together using fiberglass, allowing the material to remain strong and airtight, while light transmission varies depending on the type of wood and the distance between the panels. A wood composite wall or partition can also serve as a home theater screen.

Liquid wallpaper for walls are made of natural fibers cotton and cellulose. Surfaces coated with such material are able to breathe, which will prevent the appearance of mold. Liquid wallpaper is considered environmentally friendly and safe materials. Their advantage is ease of application and ease of eliminating accidental damage during operation. Such wallpaper is antistatic, which prevents dust from settling. The disadvantages of such coatings are: high cost liquid wallpaper and their solubility in water (the wallpaper will have to be coated with a special varnish).

liquid wallpaper
smart glass in the interior

Smart glass or as it is also called smart glass, is another interesting new building material. It is used in construction, glass doorways, partitions and other translucent structures. Smart glass is also widely used in interior design. It is capable of changing its optical properties (haze, light transmission, heat absorption, etc.) as a result of changing conditions external environment(temperature, light, and also when feeding electrical voltage). Smart glass also includes self-cleaning (for example, from rain), automatically opening (for example, for ventilation), and self-heating windows. The material allows you to reduce heat loss, reduce air conditioning costs, and replace traditional blinds and curtains. The disadvantages of smart glass are, of course, its high cost and the need to connect to the electrical network.

The production of building materials does not stand still, but moves in accordance with the development of world science. Every year they appear innovative technologies, new developments are patented. Manufacturers, competing in the market, strive not only to improve the appearance and properties of their materials, but also to create completely new and interesting products for consumers. We will talk about other new finishing materials in our next article. Read also about how to decorate the interior. Stay tuned.

A kaleidoscope of witty and original design solutions for planning, furnishing and finishing apartments! In our review, using real photos from the portfolio of the Fundament Group of Companies as an example, we will talk about the most striking findings of professionals in the field of repair and demonstrate how to apply them in practice.

For many, the reason to start renovation and construction work in an apartment or house is faded wallpaper, deteriorating plumbing or faulty electrical wiring. But a major overhaul is not just a replacement of finishing or communications, but also a unique opportunity to increase the comfort of housing, correct layout deficiencies, and create a beautiful and stylish interior with a strong personality.

Organization of space: current techniques and creative solutions

Everyone knows that to improve the ergonomics of housing, you need to think carefully about the layout of the apartment and its location functional zones. How to solve the problem of lack of space, raise the ceiling or improve the lighting of individual rooms? Professional interior designers are confident that with the help modern ideas, which can be implemented during renovation, a typical apartment can easily be turned into an exclusive living space.

1. Glass sliding door that transforms space

In the photo: Sliding partition in the interior of an apartment in Scandinavian style

Tall sliding door with a large glazing area between the corridor and the living room - current idea for apartment renovation. It visually unites these two rooms and literally “opens up” the space, at the same time improving the illumination of the corridor. For a Scandinavian-style interior, a door with a white frame is perfect, and for a loft - with a black or dark gray one. The main thing is to choose a model with only upper guides, this will preserve the integrity of the floor, which also “works” to create a single space.

2. Ceiling storage system

In the photo: Storage system in the living room of an apartment in Maly Tishinsky Lane

Find suitable place It is almost impossible to place a cabinet or bookshelves in a small living room where there are many doors. But the problem can be solved by installing a storage system ... under the ceiling, as the designers of the Fundament Group did in the living room of an apartment in Maly Tishinsky Lane. To do this, they attached a shelf around the perimeter of the room, on which all the books and boxes with various household items could easily fit. A shelf painted in the color of the walls emphasized the correct geometry of the space and brought the charm of cozy Parisian attic apartments into the contemporary-style interior.

3. Rack as an interior partition

In the photo: Shelving partition in the interior of a teenager’s room

High narrow shelving ideal for the role of space divider in a spacious nursery for a school-age child. Thanks to open sections furniture design allows light to pass through freely and therefore looks light and does not overload the interior. In addition, this rack is very spacious, so there will be no need for additional shelves. And to make a design bright room For a more expressive look, you can choose a dark-colored shelving unit.

4. Duet of flooring

In the photo: Different floor coverings in the interior of the kitchen-living room

How to unobtrusively zone the space of a kitchen-dining-living room in a modern classic style without erecting partitions? Using different floor coverings. For the kitchen area you can use porcelain stoneware, and for the dining-living room - parquet boards. To avoid unnecessary variegation, it is better to give preference to monochromatic materials that are similar in color, and decorate the joint with a decorative profile of a suitable shade. Do you want to expand your space a little at the same time? Then it makes sense to lay the parquet board diagonally.

5. Utility unit in a niche

In the photo: Interior of a bright bathroom in a modern style
